About this space

There's no better place to host your next event than at our newly renovated Rooftop Bar. This inviting space is ideal for everything from engagement parties to Christmas breakups, work drinks to milestone birthdays, and everything in between!

Accessible by stairs or lift, the Rooftop Bar & Lounge is the newest addition to the Balaclava Hotel. As you enter, you’ll pass through the lounge bar that provides an indoor drinking and dining area. Our Rooftop Bar is ideal for soaking up the sunshine, sipping on a refreshing drink and tucking into food from our refined menu.

The space features its own fully stocked bar with 8 beers on tap, BlueTooth connectivity for music, 2 x wall-mounted TVs, private bathrooms, and an all-weather courtyard (roof shutters and heating for the winter and misting fans for those balmy Melbourne summer days!). The Rooftop Bar can comfortably accommodate up to 120 guests cocktail style.

A booking is considered confirmed upon receipt of this signed terms and conditions, with a $500 deposit payment. We accept EFTPOS, cash and all major credit cards. In some instances, an additional $200 will be required as a bond, and this will be returned post-event provided that no damage has occurred to the function room or any other part of the venue.

Minors are only permitted on the premises in the company of their parent or guardian. Minors are to remain in the room reserved and are to be supervised at all times whilst within the venue, including whilst using facilities such as lifts, stairwells, foyers and public restrooms. *Functions with live entertainment (eg DJ, band), plus particular functions with over 100 guests will require additional security. This will be decided at the discretion of the venue management team and will be charged to the client prior to the event proceeding.

Please be advised that organisers are financially responsible for any damage, theft, breakage or vandalism sustained to the function room or venue premises by guests, invitees or other persons attending the function.
